Hi Mek.

(Just for clarity, I work for a UK freight forwarder).

Freight rates from India to UK have remained higher than those for containers from China, but are definitely lower than they used to be.

I can help you with costs, but would need the below additional info:

1) What size of container do you need? A 20ft, 40ft, or 40ft HQ?

2) Where would be the delivery point in the UK?

3) What is the cargo? (Basically need to know a rough weight, and whether it would be classified as Hazardous or not)

As to recommendations, I would suggest contacting 3 freight forwarders who you have either heard of, or find through Google, and then discussing with each your requirements, and working with the one who seems to be a fair price (Not necessarily the lower, but "in the ballpark"), BUT most of all gives you confidence that they can handle your goods correctly and reliably.

Good luck!

The price will vary greatly depending on the goods that you are importing, different goods will have different import taxes etc.
